With android 2.2 around the corner, what additional features do people want in the new OS. My obvious concern is that with the iPhone 4G around the corner our community really need to pull out the stops...
I recently blogged about it ( http://www.adriancantrill.me/blog/2010/05/android-2-2-wish-list-making-the-platform-competitive/ ) but i'd appreciate peoples thoughts on what SHOULD be in 2.2 and what NEEDS to be in 2.2
Seems there will be a kindle app soon enough - thats one step towards more mainstream support.

Video
I want HD video out capabilities.
720p video recording? With the added horsepower and 5mp camera technically covering all the pixels for it (maybe even up to 1080p), I can't see why not.
Native file browser and ability to save email attachments to sd card. Why didn't android 1.0 have such basic functionality?
All of The Above!
A MULTI-TOUCH KEYBOARD THAT WORKS WELL!!!!!!!!!
Google has failed to come close to the iPhone keyboard in terms of usability other than speech to text
a google "mikandi" app
jk
Backend: Open GL enhancements so more 3D games, and JIT for faster execution.
Frontend: Better search in marketplace and a more consistent UI with some sort of spam control on market
It makes me wonder if they will tackle the fragmentation of the market as has been suggested and pop a few of the key apps and features outside the OS....
I just want way louder ringtones!
And proper sound recording with video camera
Improvements/fixes.
Proper audio EQ
Divx/Xvid or at least give devs full needed access to implement these features.
HD video recording. ((full frame speed too not HD 8 fps or slowed down version like current cam))
C/Paste in Gmail.
Ability to send as different user within Gmail.
Edit quoted text Gmail.
Allow further attachment handling in Gmail both send and rcv.
Fix FB integration with name priorities.
MUCH larger HQ caller ID pictures.
An "exclude from Gallery/Music" option to directories that doesnt just .hide but actually skips over for those apps but allows other apps to continue using those media files.
Folders in App drawer.
Custom icons for folders on home screens.
Better search in market
multi-select in app updater.
Long press to start copy paste function in browser.
New Stuff
All the features Wysie adds to his contacts.
PictureMail in GoogleVoice ((even if its web launched))
Basically every damn customizable feature of Handcent in default SMS.
Re-Name and re do GTalk into Android Messenger to compete with BBM.
A social networking widget ala sense UI/Blur/New MS phones.
Thats all that comes to mind.
Can we have it now? Lol are we there yet?

i want my yogurt lol froyo time

We need someone to build a new camera app. I've managed to keep it going in cupcake based builds as long as I can but with the new donut stuff it's alot of work on each build to get it running.
We have some really talented dev's here so hopefully someone can come up with something.
In the meantime Please post camera apps that you have tried on the market that worked for you, something that can be used on the rogers and hero based builds.

well it looks real good. If someone wants to try and let us and them know it might be a good alternative.
Tested camera zoom. It works with hero.
Hello,
As AOSP build is near, I think we should be aware that the default Android apps are not as pretty as SE ones.
So, this list will include any nice replacement for a default app.
Please provide information like:
- <what it replaces , like Caller, Phonebook etc>
- <program name> ,
- status: "Free", "Free with ads", "Trial", "Paid".
- does it have a widget? describe it
I'm extremely open to rational suggestions and I'll update this list as soon as possible.
Caller/Phone book/Contact list replacements:
Youlu Address Book - Caller/Phonebook/Call log replacement.
Free.
Nice looking T9 caller/call log/address book.
Has a widget: Yes, one with 4 sections exactly like tabs on top of this app (caller, call log, contact list, favorites)

Music players

Has a widget: Yes, 3 types, with/without album list.
I already started with decompilation, studying, hacking and repackaging SE X10i apps for future custom ROM I like MediaScape.

Would be great if you could do that i like the Sony Style alot more then the default Android Style and i do not like all SE Apps but i like the Dialer.Camera App,Mediascape or Timescape and this Stuff.
I think I'm one of the few that actually likes SE's customizations to Android. I like the cohesive look of the interface, especially the style of the new phone book, in call app and chat app. What I don't like is how their software bogs down the system. For me the ideal situation would be a custom 2.2 with the Sony look but without the lag.

What is it?
This is an android app to view your Starcraft 2 Battle.Net player profile and ladder information. The differentiating features compared to existing apps will be a cleaner interface, faster loading times (all data is prepared externally before downloading), more player details and better organization of information.
How to help test
If you're a SC2 player, then you can try loading up your player profile and see how it works. If not, you can press Menu -> Debug Players on the Favorite Players screen to load up a selection of players automatically. Report bugs in this thread with a detailed description of what you were doing and what went wrong. Also feel free to suggest additional features.
** DOWNLOAD **

Oh! Nice to know!
Hope to testing soon
Do play SC2, looks like a cool app. I guess match history and pro-game updates (GSL scores etc.) would be additions i'd be interested in.
Sounds awesome, I cant want to try it out. The ability for alerts seem like something that should also be in the pro version. What kind of price are you think about?

Match history would be an eventually feature, and pro-game updates is a really good idea. I'd just have to find a good SC2 esport site with a decent/parseable news feed.

Yah alerts was another features I was thinking about keeping for pro for sure, and for price, something minimal like $.99 or $1.50 USD
Still hoping to get an early alpha release out to you guys really soon
After letting this project collect dust for a few months, I decided to get back on it.
The OP now contains a direct-download link for an alpha APK.. so if you like SC2 or just want to help me test things out, give the OP a read and post any suggestions/bugs/etc here.
Now available on the Android Market for alpha testing.

So my big hope for this year's Google I/O is an update to Honeycomb. What do you think will be in it, and what do you wish would be in it?
I presume there will be no update to honeycomb, instead the launch of icecream sandwich? Fingers crossed. It would make sense then that they keep us waiting as they're ironing out the bugs in a phone compatible, cross device format os
Sent from my MZ604 using Tapatalk
support for linux via usb
sd card (of course)
market display in portrait (also when browsing the apps, when you go back the listing, it picks up where you left off)
better 720p video support
i'd be happy with this
Although, re your question I would like to see some reputable software houses getting behind android tablet with some more honeycomb optimized releases. Looks like io has a strong contingient of Google partners showing how they've worked with the platform

If they launched ICS and posted it to AOSP, I would be a happy camper. CM8, anyone??

A functional microSD card slot would be nice without hacking/rooting.
On the PDF of all the scheduled events they have a Honeycomb segment so I can only assume we'll get some love.
Bluetooth mouse support(!!!), full browser (not this mobile nonsense), Full-screen support for smartphone apps (just stretch it, that would be fine), and software like iTunes for synchronizing music and video.
and a pony.

That's only in debug mode, and if you close it and reopen it's back to mobile. It's a simple fix to add the option to the normal settings and make it permanent. I think they've made it difficult to encourage webdesigners to design for android tablets.
Well, ive done it once. 4 weeks ago, and to this day, with a few reboots it has stayed in desktop mode... works for me.. Xoom Wifi
- SD support
- Post comments in market
- Configurable UA-String in browser
- Better bookmark managing in browser (sort, folder handling etc.)
- Chrome plugins in default browser (I want an ad blocker for stock browser!! )
- Better IMAP support in email app (its always syncing out new mails and keeping old ones automatically, after manual sync it works correctly).
So that icon on the bottom of all the Nexus 6 renderings that some of us thought was a new Hangouts icon is actually another new SMS/MMS app. I guess enough people didn't like the text messaging - Hangouts integration. Direct quote from Google as well as info from AndroidPolice below.
Messenger and Hangouts offer users choice, each have their own benefits. Hangouts work great for cross platform (web, iOS, Android) and cross medium communications (video, voice,messaging, SMS). Messenger will be specially designed to be a quick and easy way to send and receive SMS and MMS messages on Android; more to come (Nexus 6 will come with both apps).

That's nice. Though I wish Google would just integrate them both flawlessly and have one unified messaging system.
As long as the app has had the full material design makeover i'll use it over hangouts. Hangouts always had a problem with closing in the background on me no matter what the phone but the stock one didn't and it annoys the hell out of me
Awesome. I think if Google just keeps changing the stock apps from one version of Android to another it will really enhance the useability of the ecosystem. Nothing makes things easier than having to relearn an interface over and over again.
Like the pointless recent design changes to Chrome. I love those. It was so annoying how I had gotten used to the way Chrome works. Where are the stumbling blocks and unnecessary changed features? Without those things there is no joy.
The best thing would be if Google changes the order of the back, home, and whatever that square button is, with each version of Android. Even better, they could switch which shape correlates to which function, while simultaneously changing the positions. And really, why not try putting the navbar on the top or side or back of the phone?
Thank God for gratuitous changes, otherwise life would be so painfully convenient.
They need to have a standard, stock SMS app for AOSP reasons. I don't really see them ever getting rid of it.
Hopefully this unifies the messaging system.
